Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See: Why do I take so long with audio books? Even captivating ones as this? I had a busy week with swimming, so audio books took a backseat.
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares: This is a pretty quick read. I wasn't expecting that, especially due to its size and small font.
